Hi Alain,

I would love to get your comments on rebirthing please RE my message dated June 29.

Love & Thanks for your time,

Gwen

I did rebirthing maybe 25 years ago so I don't know if it has changed in recent years.

At that time I found it interesting but I didn't get anywhere particular amazing with it. Many reported experiencing their birth again and great insights. Alas, that was not my experience at all.

I have achieved greater strides through deep meditation and self hypnosis processes.

"Many have re-experienced their birth" RE-birthing.But I went another step, I DIED!
There is an Indian word Maha--something for "Death while still in the body."

Lotta fun!

Thank you very much for the replies.

Hi Gwen,

Are you talking about the Re-birthing breathwork?

If so, I have had a few sessions recently with someone who is also a craniosacral therapist and it helped me a lot. I found that the connected breathing helped me. It made me realise that quite a lot of the time, I have held my breath when things have happened and whilst doing the connected breathing, a lot of emotions came up, but the therapist was there as a support and placed her hands on my body where my breathing was constricted and told me to breathe through it and the more I did this the more my breath just freed. After each session, I was able to breathe more deeply and felt a new sense of freedom. I also felt all my chakras fully open at the end of a session.

I did not experience a re-birth as such, but I was having some stomach problems at the time and during one particular session, I was lying there breathing when this image of myself as a baby came up from nowhere. It was an image of myself as a baby lying in a cot with my legs pulled up to my tummy, screaming in pain and all alone. When this image came up, I sobbed, but managed to keep breathing through this with the support of my therapist who also put her hands on my tummy. With continued breathing and also letting go of all the emotions that arose, the pain just melted away under her hands and after that session I had no further stomach problems. They resolved and have never returned.

As you can see, it was beneficial for me.

Thanks for sharing Cranial Therapist

Yes, we are both speaking about the same thing - rebirthing breathwork. It seems to me that it works best when combined with other healing arts.

I seem to have got to a point characterised by spasms & fear, where something else is necessary to move me forward.

All the best

I went to my 1st rebirthing workshop when I was 13. My parents took my brother and I along to a Louise Hay workshop where rebirthing was the technique used to heal emotional wounds. I remember being in the kids workshop and not feeling much happen. However, there were plenty of people in the adult workshop next door who were having profound experiences of seeing themselves in the womb and being born. Seems like an amazing way to release trauma but I think that now there are faster ways of doing this with energy medicine. Saying that, I like the idea of releasing traumas that I am unaware of and can see tremendous value in this

I tried "dry" rebirthing a couple of times facilitated by a practitioner. I got very cold because of the heat loss from all of the connected breathing, and did go into an altered state of consciousness, but not one that seemed to do much for me.

Interestingly, the rebirther went into what was for her a profoundly altered state of consciousness because of the energy she said was coming off me. I think she may have disrupted the process trying to stay in her body.

Personally, I consider other modalities (TAT, BSFF, and energy cone therapy) much more helpful for releasing birth trauma without having to re-experience it. They are also wonderful for countless other issues.

Blessings,
Alfred

Hi Alfred

Thank you very much for sharing.

I have returned to breathing & meditation to release negative emotions & I expect this is what you have recommended - will check later. Not identifying with the emotions seems to be of utmost importance.

I found shiatsu massage which i had twice recently for the first time very helpful in getting the energy flowing healthily through my body.

Rebirthers recommmend meditation, walking & massage. I am creating a system of practices that works for me - stretching, walking & meditation are definitely in it.

Trusting ourselves as channels of divine intelligent, wisdom & healing energy is also highly beneficial. Meditation brings insights & knowings that we can only know when they resonate with our own hearts/spirits
[What is the difference?]. The days of learning doctrines & laws & obeying are over. We are in a time in which all knowledge is coming together, we are living from our hearts & each person's beliefs being accepted as their truth at their place on their path.

Peace, Love & Wisdom

Hi Red

Thank you for sharing also & for the reminder that truly every day is getting better & better.

Rebirthing did help me.

I have felt amazingly peaceful doing quantum touch on others. It has been a powerful meditation. Sometimes I have imagined dolphins in beautiful pools with flowers & vibrant coloured running water. Once I felt my back was more flexible after working on a friend, other times it has been very uplifting emotionally or energizing, always lots of love... I wish to experience someone doing QT on me like that, especially on emotional areas... all in time.
